Rubbing alcohol? Isn't that not recommended for rubber parts, as it dries them out and makes them less effective? All the poop I've ever seen on this says to use distilled water for rubber parts.
I'm sure you're right--but HP's manual sez I shouldn't touch the interior w. anything but a dry, lint-free cloth. The depth of cleaning that seems to be required to keep my duplexer running is, I suspect ,more than distilled water (wh. I do not have around the house in any event) would provide.
I should emphasize that I don't clean the rollers this way until they start giving me trouble, and that using alcohol thereafter actually extends the life of the duplexer--and dramatically so.
I confess, too, that I use alcohol because my first laser-printer's manual actually recommended using alcohol to clean the rollers!
